The Undercroft At St. Mary's

About The Undercroft At St. Mary's

Located in the atmospheric medieval undercroft of St. Mary's Guildhall, our café offers you a welcoming and relaxed setting for brunch, light snacks, hearty lunches, or a quick coffee while catching up with friends and emails. Just a short stroll from Coventry's central shopping areas and neighbouring tourist attractions, The Undercroft at St. Mary's is a perfect place to unwind in the city's historic Cathedral Quarter.

Expect tasty dishes at competitive prices, in unique historic surroundings. Your food is even prepared in the same medieval kitchens that have catered for royalty and civic dignitaries for nearly 700 years (with a few updates over time, of course). The café is also fully licenced should you fancy something a little stronger.

Children can choose from their own Mini Merchants menu, and high chairs are available for our youngest guests. Special dietary requirements can be catered for, while our menus include many vegetarian and vegan options.
